00:00:00Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry his longtime fiancée, Julie Miller, uniting New York's most elite families.
00:00:20This is Amber Wilson from J.K.R. News.
00:00:30Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:37You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:41It's an important meeting. You need to get ready.
00:00:45You can be a little softer in the morning.
00:00:47Ronald likes a buzzkill.
00:00:50Good morning to you, too.
00:00:52I had never had Mediterranean food before, so he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:01:02Dang, Jonathan, he's quite a romantic.
00:01:05And then what?
00:01:06Oh, Mabel, right?
00:01:10Sorry, I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:01:12We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:16Oh, Mabel would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:19Oh, right. His personal assistant. It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.
00:01:27Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:30Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal. Take this as it...
00:01:36Oh, my.
00:01:37I've read so many wonderful things. I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:42Julie.
00:01:45What are you doing here?
00:01:49It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:02:00Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:04In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan. We're engaged, remember?
00:02:10Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:12Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:14Good. I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:16Lead the meeting?
00:02:17Yes, you've earned it. Feel up for it?
00:02:21Absolutely.
00:02:24Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:25I need formalities. Come on, let's go. We're going to be late.
00:02:32Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:34Oh, well, well.
00:02:50Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:54Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:55Adam, is he as usual, Jonathan?
00:03:15Mom!
00:03:17I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:19Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:23What's the matter?
00:03:25We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:30You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:32We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:33This is not up for debate.
00:03:35You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:37And you should join us well, Mabel.
00:04:02A toast.
00:04:04To the union.
00:04:04To the union.
00:04:07Mabel, can you pull me some wine?
00:04:11Mabel's a guest.
00:04:12Of course.
00:04:13Miss Miller?
00:04:14A soon-to-be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:17Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:20We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:26This is the first joyful, joyful dinner
00:04:29we've had since Fiona.
00:04:33With Jonathan and Julie together.
00:04:37It almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.
00:04:46Mom.
00:04:48We are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:51I'm full.
00:04:55I'm full.
00:04:56It's a joy.
00:04:56You okay?
00:05:14Okay.
00:05:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:17I thought you were someone else.
00:05:20Who are you looking for?
00:05:21Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:23The owner of the mansion.
00:05:25You, uh, must be his girlfriend.
00:05:28Girlfriend.
00:05:28No, just his assistant.
00:05:30I see.
00:05:31I'm Ryan.
00:05:32My father is just the gardener here.
00:05:35I know the house really well.
00:05:36I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:38Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:41Though he doesn't visit much nowadays.
00:05:43He does have quite a few properties.
00:05:45Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:48Is that so?
00:05:49Oh, good.
00:05:50You've met.
00:05:52I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:55You make a cute couple.
00:05:56Oh, good.
00:05:56A date?
00:06:07Yes, Mabel.
00:06:09Ryan's a fine young man, and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:12You make a good match.
00:06:14Well, it's a kind offer, but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:20No effects.
00:06:21None taken.
00:06:22Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:24Then he has a very early meeting.
00:06:29Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:32I know how busy you've been serving my son.
00:06:36What fun you've had.
00:06:38I don't understand.
00:06:40Let me clarify.
00:06:41You're barely a side dish.
00:06:43Now the main course is served.
00:06:47Stay away from my son.
00:06:50Or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:53Have I made myself clear?
00:07:00Now, about you and Ryan.
00:07:03You're quite the pair.
00:07:05I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:07I can't see a wedding in the near future.
00:07:24Morning.
00:07:25The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:29Were you okay last night?
00:07:37What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:42One meeting in the morning, two in the afternoon.
00:07:46And Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:48I've set up calendar alerts.
00:08:06You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:08:08He applies later.
00:08:09Yes.
00:08:12Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:08:14It's after work.
00:08:15A date?
00:08:18Are you joking?
00:08:20You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:23Jonathan.
00:08:23Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.
00:08:39And I hate cats.
00:08:41I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.
00:08:46We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:48And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:50Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:53What do you want to know?
00:08:54Family?
00:08:55My mom died and my father is a gambler.
00:08:58You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:09:02Delightful company you are.
00:09:03I'm a walking old flag.
00:09:05Who knows?
00:09:06I might even become an abuser.
00:09:08An abuser?
00:09:10Do you use ropes?
00:09:12What?
00:09:13You see, I enjoy being tied up, so...
00:09:16Rather intrigued.
00:09:17Weirdo.
00:09:20Says Miss Monster date.
00:09:23Make call.
00:09:33You're Jack's son.
00:09:36He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:39A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:41If you don't mind, we're on a date.
00:09:43Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:45We would be, without any interruptions.
00:09:59I'm on my way.
00:10:01Okay, sorry.
00:10:03I have to go.
00:10:07Mabel.
00:10:07Excuse me.
00:10:13Hi, I'm here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:15What happened?
00:10:16He's stable now.
00:10:18The creditors got rough with him.
00:10:20Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:23How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:26They've been paid for.
00:10:28By whom?
00:10:29Ryan, what are you doing here?
00:10:36To finish the date.
00:10:38I'm starving.
00:10:40It's a very expensive date.
00:10:43I'll pay you back.
00:10:45Later.
00:10:45For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:47So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:11:00Yeah, I did.
00:11:02I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:11:07Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:11:09I'm super nerdy.
00:11:11You were serious about your father's debts, right?
00:11:20He was a gambler.
00:11:22He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:26I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:28You were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:32You've known me for one day.
00:11:34Hold your conclusions, Sherlock.
00:11:37Well, this is me.
00:11:39Um, goodnight, nerd.
00:11:44Goodnight, monster date.
00:11:55It's late.
00:11:57Where you been?
00:12:04Were you out with him all night?
00:12:06It's my personal time.
00:12:08I don't have to report everything to you.
00:12:10So, it went well, then.
00:12:12Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:14How could I refuse?
00:12:15Good.
00:12:16So, then, it was all just for show.
00:12:18Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:12:20I might consider a second date.
00:12:23I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:12:25Then come shower it off me.
00:12:28You went on a date with another man.
00:12:30And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:33Jealous?
00:12:33I don't know.
00:12:35Not as much as you.
00:12:35Oh, my God.
00:13:05Morning.
00:13:11Coffee or tea?
00:13:14Uh, coffee.
00:13:19You never make me breakfast.
00:13:24Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:28Come here.
00:13:32I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:35What do you mean?
00:13:38Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:41We need to stop.
00:13:42Whatever this is.
00:13:43What about our last night?
00:13:47Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:48Breakup?
00:13:48We weren't even together.
00:13:50Exactly.
00:13:51Exactly.
00:13:55Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:57Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!
00:14:12Anniversary?
00:14:15I mean, 7 years of Webber.
00:14:18Time flies, doesn't it?
00:14:19Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:21Got to cut the cake, Mabel.
00:14:23Hey!
00:14:23You guys are so sweet.
00:14:24What are you doing?
00:14:25What are you doing?
00:14:27Boss, it's her special day.
00:14:29So?
00:14:30We have the meeting with Harbor in an hour.
00:14:34Do your jobs!
00:14:35What?
00:14:42Uh, what are you doing?
00:14:45You guys are so sweet.
00:14:54Great.
00:14:54Coffee is going home.
00:14:56And we have to spend a year's doing it.
00:14:57Never.
00:14:58Keep going home.
00:14:59You're welcome.
00:15:00You have to a minute.
00:15:01assessment.
00:15:02What are you doing?
00:15:33Someone might see us.
00:15:38Tell me no one was.
00:15:51Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:58This fun well lasted.
00:16:03Hello, this is Mabel.
00:16:09Evening, Mabel.
00:16:11Ryan, what an honor.
00:16:13You want to grab dinner together?
00:16:15Just as friends, of course.
00:16:16I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:20Sure, why not?
00:16:22Where are we going?
00:16:23I know the perfect spot.
00:16:24I'll text you.
00:16:25See you soon.
00:16:26I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:16:32This is amazing.
00:16:34I know.
00:16:35I think it's got some drugs in it or something.
00:16:37It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:38How could it be so addictive?
00:16:40How have you been lately?
00:16:43Can't complain.
00:16:44Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:46Or because you are happy?
00:16:48The latter.
00:16:49Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:54Good bye.
00:16:55This is true.
00:16:57Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:17:00I think we'd make excellent business partners.
00:17:03Business partners?
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:05Well, I was just saying, our first date was rather chaotic.
00:17:08So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:17:12I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:17:14I'm the founder of Novatec.
00:17:16And I would like for you to join us as head of the creative strategies.
00:17:21Novatec?
00:17:26Novatec?
00:17:28But I thought you said you were...
00:17:30The gardener's son.
00:17:30Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:35Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:38After years of education and, well, hard work,
00:17:41I find myself at MIT and started my own company.
00:17:45It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:48That's an incredible, Ryan.
00:17:50And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.
00:17:53And I'm just an assistant.
00:17:56So I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:18:00You're not just anyone.
00:18:01You're the key success to the Whitefruits project.
00:18:04It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:18:09So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:18:13Miss Whiteford, um, Jonathan's left for the evening.
00:18:33I'm here to see you.
00:18:35How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:36It was pleasant.
00:18:39Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:41When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:43We've only just met.
00:18:47I've warned you.
00:18:49No marriage.
00:18:52No job at Whiteford Tech.
00:18:55And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:58I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:19:00Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:19:03I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:19:07Leave my son.
00:19:09And I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:19:13If not,
00:19:14those seeking him will find him.
00:19:18Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance.
00:19:21Not me.
00:19:22I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:27You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:29At most,
00:19:30a shadow of his past pain.
00:19:34A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:36What do you mean?
00:19:38You don't know, do you?
00:19:43Mary Ryan,
00:19:44it's my last warning.
00:19:52Did I miss a meeting?
00:20:08Uh, no.
00:20:09I just...
00:20:10Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:20:12He was concerned.
00:20:14Mr. Whiteford,
00:20:15it's October 15th.
00:20:16Shit, shit.
00:20:17You never always take the day off.
00:20:20It's okay.
00:20:21The car's out front.
00:20:22No, no, it's not okay.
00:20:23No, it's not okay.
00:20:23I never forget.
00:20:27Just clear everything for today.
00:20:29Okay.
00:20:29I've kept your calendar clear,
00:20:30as always.
00:20:31Okay, thank you.
00:20:33Um.
00:20:34The car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:35Right.
00:20:36I'll, uh, see you.
00:20:37At the office?
00:20:38Right.
00:20:44Hello?
00:20:44Mabel, where are you?
00:20:46Our server is yet!
00:20:47Oh, uh, okay.
00:20:48I'm on my way.
00:20:51The entire server crashed.
00:20:56Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:58Hey, what happened?
00:20:59We are under attack.
00:21:01We need a system reboot.
00:21:02Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:21:03We need his admin code.
00:21:04Now.
00:21:04Okay, he's out of the office.
00:21:06Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:21:11We need that code.
00:21:12Do you have access to it?
00:21:14No, that code is highly confidential.
00:21:15Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:21:17Um, let me try.
00:21:27What else?
00:21:28We're completely off-line.
00:21:29Come on, Mabel.
00:21:30You know you're the best.
00:21:31Wait, a moment.
00:21:32Try Fiona.
00:21:37F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:41Fiona.
00:21:42Give it a shot.
00:21:46Fiona.
00:21:47Give it a shot.
00:21:48Remember that awkward dinner at the Whitefroids?
00:21:56Since Fiona, you are nothing to tell him.
00:22:01At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:22:05A reminder of our heartbreak.
00:22:06Hello, Jonathan.
00:22:18Good to see you.
00:22:20How may I help you?
00:22:23Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:26Oh, no.
00:22:27That's not Mabel.
00:22:31That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:34Jonathan's first love.
00:22:36Uh, next, Mabel Morris?
00:22:50Hello.
00:23:05Hello.
00:23:10You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:23:15That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial.
00:23:26You know, I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:39Here's my resume.
00:23:43Mabel.
00:23:44It's nice to meet you.
00:23:45When can you start?
00:24:02Tomorrow.
00:24:03No, actually, today.
00:24:05Welcome to Whitefroids Tech.
00:24:08Mabel.
00:24:09Mabel.
00:24:10Mabel.
00:24:11Mabel.
00:24:12Mabel.
00:24:20Mabel.
00:24:21Are you all right?
00:24:24I know.
00:24:25Shocking, isn't it?
00:24:26You know, when they mention you years ago, I was concerned.
00:24:31I thought you had actually fallen for someone.
00:24:34But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:39To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:43He doesn't love you.
00:24:44You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:46You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:48Oh, Mabel.
00:24:54Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:59You pathetic slut.
00:25:02Fuck off.
00:25:07Oh, do you know about today?
00:25:10I don't want to know.
00:25:11Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:25:13He visits her grave on this day, every year.
00:25:18You see, you're just a joke.
00:25:23Just a joke.
00:25:44Hey, Mabel.
00:25:45What's wrong?
00:25:53There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:25:57Okay.
00:25:58Well, since you're here and down at the office, I assume it's resolved.
00:26:04Your passcode.
00:26:07What is it?
00:26:09What?
00:26:10The code, Jonathan, what is it?
00:26:11That's none of your business.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Uh, tell me about this attack.
00:26:24So, it's been fixed?
00:26:28We had to restart the system.
00:26:31System reboot.
00:26:32I see.
00:26:33It asked for an admin code.
00:26:36Why didn't you call me?
00:26:37I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:41Signal down there.
00:26:42We got the code.
00:26:45It did.
00:26:47How?
00:26:49Luckily,
00:26:51Julie was there.
00:26:52So, you've seen.
00:26:59Fiona?
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:09Fiona?
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:15Mabel.
00:27:16I know you have a lot of questions.
00:27:19Actually,
00:27:21I found a lot of answers today.
00:27:26I thought I was lucky.
00:27:30To have that job.
00:27:33To work at the company.
00:27:34To be by your side.
00:27:38To enter a relationship with you or whatever that was.
00:27:42But it turns out.
00:27:47I was just a replacement.
00:27:49No.
00:27:49A replacement for some sick, twisted obsession that you can't get over.
00:27:54I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.
00:27:58All those years.
00:28:01When you've been.
00:28:05You're fucking a ghost.
00:28:06Mia!
00:28:08Don't speak.
00:28:10Don't use that term.
00:28:11Dead.
00:28:12Ghost.
00:28:13So.
00:28:14That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:28:16She is both.
00:28:24I'm Mabel Morans.
00:28:27I'm not.
00:28:29I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:28:31I'm not Fiona.
00:28:39You're right.
00:28:39You're not her.
00:28:44Nobody is.
00:28:55I've submitted my resignation.
00:28:59Thank you for the opportunity.
00:29:02Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:29:04Goodbye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:29:07Bye.
00:29:16Bye.
00:29:17Bye.
00:29:17Bye.
00:29:27Bye.
00:29:28Bye.
00:29:29Bye.
00:29:29Bye.
00:29:29Bye.
00:29:30Bye.
00:29:30Bye.
00:29:31Bye.
00:29:32Bye.
00:29:33You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:29:38A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.
00:29:40Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:29:41She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:43Absolutely.
00:29:44She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:47How's his condition?
00:29:49He's well.
00:29:52With a little rest, he should recover fully.
00:29:55That's good news.
00:30:03He's at Silverpine Hospital.
00:30:09Tell his creditors.
00:30:11I knew you had an alien.
00:30:14Um, Mrs. Wayford, I was just...
00:30:16Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:30:20I've seen what you're capable of.
00:30:23Years ago.
00:30:33Uh, Mrs. Wayford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:30:36Oh, enough, Julie.
00:30:37Cut it.
00:30:40Fiona was sweet.
00:30:43But too naive for a world.
00:30:46Her innocence was a liability.
00:30:48I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:30:53But Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:55Even ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project.
00:30:58All encouraged by Fiona.
00:31:01Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:31:03But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:31:08We could have been so much more influential.
00:31:10So powerful.
00:31:14But, just when I thought all was lost,
00:31:18Fiona was out of the picture.
00:31:21Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:31:24God plays no favors.
00:31:26I see your hand in her car accident.
00:31:31How long have you known?
00:31:32Oh, Julie.
00:31:35I've known from the start.
00:31:41What happened?
00:31:43He's...
00:31:44His debt collector's caught up to him.
00:31:46Will you be okay?
00:31:48Prepare for the worst.
00:31:49He's for the worst.
00:31:49He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:52How did he find him?
00:31:53Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:55We're investigating him.
00:31:56We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:57I've warned you.
00:32:00This is seeking him.
00:32:02I died.
00:32:05It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:32:06The Barbara Whiteford, Queen of Manhattan.
00:32:09She's after my father.
00:32:11That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:32:13Respectfully, your father's not significant enough for her to waste.
00:32:16You don't understand.
00:32:17I got too close to her son and she told me...
00:32:20Please calm down.
00:32:21No, you don't understand.
00:32:22Please, please.
00:32:23Ms. Morris?
00:32:25Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:32:28He passed away.
00:32:29No.
00:32:34No.
00:32:36What?
00:32:37No.
00:32:40No.
00:32:40No!
00:32:42No!
00:33:00Mom.
00:33:04After you left Dad was never the same.
00:33:10When you left us...
00:33:16I lost him.
00:33:21I always thought...
00:33:23It would get better.
00:33:28But it didn't.
00:33:32I'm sorry.
00:33:36I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:33:40I failed.
00:33:42I failed on everything.
00:33:52Leave me alone!
00:33:54I got food from your favorite place.
00:33:56You don't have to talk to me, but...
00:33:58Please say something.
00:34:00Please say something.
00:34:04I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:34:06I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:34:08I'm only gonna ask you once.
00:34:10And I'll leave you be.
00:34:12But are you okay?
00:34:14Do you want to talk about it?
00:34:16I'm managing.
00:34:18The food helped.
00:34:20The food helped.
00:34:22You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:24You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:26It's so good I feel vulnerable.
00:34:28We all have our moments.
00:34:30It's just...
00:34:32It's just...
00:34:34It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:36I get it.
00:34:38It's just...
00:34:40It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:42I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:46I've lost a loved one too.
00:34:49Great.
00:34:50Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:52A dead girlfriend?
00:34:53We...
00:34:54You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:56You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:58It's so good I feel vulnerable.
00:35:00We all have our moments.
00:35:02It's just...
00:35:04It's been incredibly hard.
00:35:06I get it.
00:35:08also? Dead girlfriend week. You knew about Jonathan and Fiona. So you knew. You knew
00:35:16all this time. But you two were completely different. I didn't lose a lover. It was
00:35:26my mother I lost. Ryan, I'm sorry. It's okay. This whole week is just everything
00:35:38I feel so pointless. That's a natural feeling to have. I used to mock existentialism. I
00:35:48get it now. I love how intelligent you sound. Even now. Stop. No, seriously. Modern day
00:35:58Socrates. Thank you, Ryan.
00:36:08Thank you, Ryan. For the food and the talk. Less of the food.
00:36:18It's still so addictive.
00:36:19Oh, they definitely put drugs in it.
00:36:21Yeah. Hey. Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:36:27I will. I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:30Have you considered your next steps? Not sure. Quit my job. Settled the debts. Now the
00:36:38world's just kind of open to me. Strange. Yeah. Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.
00:36:45You sure? About me leading? You're the best one to lead it. Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:51I'll think about it. Seriously. That's all I can ask.
00:36:53Mabel? Are you doing okay? Why aren't you here? Mabel? Are you doing okay? Why are you
00:37:15here? I saw what happened on the news. You're worried? Save it. It's none of your business.
00:37:21Mabel, please. Let me just... I'm done.
00:37:25Listening, Jonathan. I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:33And now I finally know the truth.
00:37:36I thought what we had was real. But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:43I truly loved you, Jonathan.
00:37:56Don't come looking for me again.
00:38:00Leave me alone.
00:38:01It's my final request.
00:38:02And this is the upstairs division.
00:38:14I can see it.
00:38:15What do you think?
00:38:16Love it. It's so lively.
00:38:19That's the goal.
00:38:20Hey, I'm in.
00:38:22But I have one condition.
00:38:24I'd like to work from a different city.
00:38:26Why's that?
00:38:27Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:38:29That's where you're headed, right?
00:38:31Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:33And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:37I'm listening.
00:38:39Welcome to the team.
00:38:46What an honor, Captain.
00:38:47Let me show you around.
00:38:48Sir, you've been meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes.
00:39:01Right.
00:39:04Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:39:07And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:39:10Sir? Sir?
00:39:12Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:39:14I can get someone else to help with...
00:39:15She can't be replaced.
00:39:28There's no one like her.
00:39:34Why don't you start on the living room?
00:39:38What?
00:39:40Hey.
00:39:42What is happening here?
00:39:43We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:44Please don't interrupt.
00:39:46Where are these going?
00:39:48They're going to the donation.
00:39:49They don't already left.
00:39:59Get out.
00:40:01Ben?
00:40:02You're a mess.
00:40:03You do not want to talk.
00:40:09Okay, you haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:40:12Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:40:15Just move on.
00:40:16Find someone.
00:40:16Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:40:18She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:40:20Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:40:22She's different.
00:40:23Funny.
00:40:24Professional.
00:40:25She makes me feel good about myself.
00:40:27She's...
00:40:27She's Mabel.
00:40:28And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:39What about our engagement?
00:40:42Julie.
00:40:42When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:40:49I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:53That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:54No, no.
00:40:54You don't determine that.
00:40:56Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:59I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:41:01I lost everything.
00:41:05What do you mean by that?
00:41:06Nothing.
00:41:07Nothing.
00:41:08I just...
00:41:08I can't stand to see you like...
00:41:10What are you hiding?
00:41:11Nothing.
00:41:12I was just...
00:41:12Just saying that...
00:41:13Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:41:15I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:41:17You're delusion.
00:41:17Did you?
00:41:22This is silly.
00:41:24Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:41:31Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:33Okay.
00:41:40Hey, give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:48It's urgent.
00:41:53The hospital's footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:58A young woman?
00:42:00Yes, sir.
00:42:01A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:42:07Julie.
00:42:07Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:42:10No, don't bother.
00:42:10Uh, any news on Mabel's location?
00:42:12On Mabel's location?
00:42:16She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:42:20Where is she currently?
00:42:22Last known location.
00:42:24She's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:42:26Get the car ready.
00:42:27Now.
00:42:27I'm going to pull over.
00:42:37Right here.
00:42:37Stop.
00:42:39Mabel!
00:42:40Are you insane?
00:42:42What the hell are you doing?
00:42:49Mabel, where are you?
00:42:50Johnston.
00:42:51You're welcome.
00:42:51Wait, Mabel!
00:42:57Mabel!
00:42:57Mabel!
00:42:58Wait!
00:43:06Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:43:09I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:43:13It's a good match.
00:43:14You should be happy for her.
00:43:15Were you part of this?
00:43:16Jonathan.
00:43:20Mabel made her own choice.
00:43:22No one pushed her.
00:43:24She has her life.
00:43:25We have ours.
00:43:27They don't intersect.
00:43:30Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:43:31The wedding's next month.
00:43:33I won't marry Julie.
00:43:35I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:43:39I love Mabel.
00:43:41She's the one I want.
00:43:42She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:43:45She's not!
00:43:48I know it's already too late, but my feelings for her are real.
00:43:54I'll wait for her.
00:43:56I'll wait as long as it takes, because this is my life!
00:44:01And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:44:02Mabel, turn it off.
00:44:26Mabel!
00:44:26Okay, you lazy bone.
00:44:31Come on.
00:44:32There's a meeting to attend to.
00:44:34I programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:44:37I learned it myself.
00:44:39Exactly.
00:44:39That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:44:42Show off.
00:44:42The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:59Got it.
00:45:01Put some clothes on.
00:45:05You can't see me, right?
00:45:07Don't need to.
00:45:08I know you too well.
00:45:11Thank you, Mark Dumber.
00:45:12Heard that.
00:45:15Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:45:19What are you through?
00:45:21Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:45:24Please come home.
00:45:24Your mother's condition is critical.
00:45:37What happened?
00:45:38She suffered a stroke last week.
00:45:41Mom.
00:45:42Mom.
00:45:43She'll recover, right?
00:45:44She's alright, for now.
00:45:46But she might not speak again.
00:45:48What?
00:45:50A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:52She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:56Sweet.
00:45:59Hi.
00:46:00What can I do to help?
00:46:04You can keep her calm.
00:46:06She's a fighter.
00:46:07She might be able to pull through.
00:46:11See me?
00:46:14I'm here.
00:46:14Mabel, this is my father view I've been telling you about.
00:46:20Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:46:22Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:46:24Likewise.
00:46:25He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:46:30He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:46:32Oh, so nerdy.
00:46:34Mabel.
00:46:34Hey.
00:46:47When did you return?
00:46:49Mabel, we can leave with your...
00:46:51No need.
00:46:53We're just chatting.
00:46:55Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:57I was just looking for you.
00:46:59You deliberately ignored my request.
00:47:01I asked to be left alone.
00:47:03Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:47:04Everything was sorted.
00:47:06It's all behind us.
00:47:10Um, hey, Jonathan.
00:47:12They're just here to visit an old man.
00:47:15Isn't that okay?
00:47:16Dad, this is your home as well.
00:47:17We don't need his approval.
00:47:19Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:47:22I see you two.
00:47:24You live together, huh?
00:47:26It's not your business.
00:47:27Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:47:28I see you haven't changed.
00:47:33Sorry, Jack.
00:47:33I just remembered I have a, uh, phone call that I need to meet.
00:47:39Mabel.
00:47:45We can talk about it, you know?
00:47:47About the product launch?
00:47:49My only concern is the interface.
00:47:50It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:52Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:55No need to hide it.
00:47:56He's just a competitor now.
00:47:57Speaking of which, the new app at Whiteford Tech is dominating the charts.
00:48:01We should look into that.
00:48:02Can I ask you something?
00:48:03If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:48:08Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:48:13He broke my heart once.
00:48:16I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:48:17This is Mabel.
00:48:29Head of Creators.
00:48:30Nice to meet the team.
00:48:32We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:48:34Your products are so exciting.
00:48:38We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:39What are you doing here?
00:48:41Mr. Whiteford, welcome.
00:48:42Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:44He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:53I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:58Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:49:04He's welcome to join.
00:49:04I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:49:09His insight is invaluable.
00:49:13Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:49:14I love being part of the creative process.
00:49:15What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:24At the end of the day, our product is really exciting and thank you all so much for spending
00:49:29your afternoon with us at Novatec.
00:49:31We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:49:36Well, this sounds like a game changer.
00:49:39Congratulations.
00:49:41Mr. Whiteford, do your thoughts.
00:49:45It's good.
00:49:48Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:49:53I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:56If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:50:02You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:50:05It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:50:10But there's potential.
00:50:12Your menu needs more clarity.
00:50:13It's affecting your overall product.
00:50:16It needs to improve the interactive system.
00:50:19It's far too average.
00:50:21And the interface needs to be more user-friendly than you notice.
00:50:24But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:50:31Proud of you.
00:50:32Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:50:35I'm sorry.
00:50:37I sometimes get carried away with talented teams.
00:50:44Well then, let's crunch some numbers, shall we?
00:50:48What are we looking at, budget-wise?
00:50:49Hey, great job on today's pitch.
00:51:00It was a team effort.
00:51:01You still have some work to do, though?
00:51:03I'm looking forward to launching it.
00:51:05But then, let's non-stop.
00:51:06Ready to get some rest.
00:51:09Wow.
00:51:10You still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:51:14Wait.
00:51:15You knew about it.
00:51:16You knew about it.
00:51:16Ryan, you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:51:20I had my suspicions.
00:51:22I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but she's clueless.
00:51:26But still hoping for a wedding.
00:51:29Um, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:51:31Absolutely.
00:51:32And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:51:37But it's all behind me.
00:51:39Don't worry.
00:51:39Okay.
00:51:39Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:52:01Just a coincidence, Ms. Morris.
00:52:04See, um, I live here, too.
00:52:07Yeah, right.
00:52:12Hey!
00:52:12Can you give me some space?
00:52:29Must be your neighbor, Lee.
00:52:34When did you move here?
00:52:35Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.
00:52:41Now it housed two.
00:52:51Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:53I live here, too.
00:52:56Guess what?
00:52:57My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:59Is this passcode still Fiona?
00:53:02Stop.
00:53:02Why do you care?
00:53:07Uh...
00:53:07Don't know the lights, Mabel.
00:53:15That's an early night.
00:53:16Rough day?
00:53:17Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.
00:53:21Really?
00:53:22What happened?
00:53:25Good night, Mabel.
00:53:32Need a ride with S'mores?
00:53:38No, thank you.
00:53:39I prefer to walk.
00:53:40Are you kidding?
00:53:41It's about to rain.
00:53:42Come on.
00:53:54Is he dead?
00:53:57Seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:58The DL was a quiet ride.
00:54:02Oh.
00:54:03You know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:54:11Okay, fine.
00:54:12What is it?
00:54:12The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:54:15The uniform font size is causing confusion, but...
00:54:18A little variation can help.
00:54:20You're right.
00:54:21We wanted simplicity, but...
00:54:24Maybe too much so.
00:54:26It's a good approach, but...
00:54:29You need to experiment, but...
00:54:30You've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:54:40Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:54:42Please come home.
00:54:43Your mother's condition is critical.
00:54:44Come home.
00:54:45Come home.
00:54:51Her condition worsened.
00:54:59We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:55:04Is there anything that could be done for her?
00:55:08We've done everything.
00:55:11Her vitals are going quickly.
00:55:13I'm so sorry.
00:55:14I'm going to get some medicine.
00:55:16Okay?
00:55:16Okay.
00:55:21Mom.
00:55:23Hey.
00:55:24I'm right here.
00:55:26Shut up.
00:55:27All right.
00:55:29Do you need anything?
00:55:29Is there anything we can get for you?
00:55:33I'm leaving you.
00:55:34No.
00:55:35No.
00:55:37You're fine.
00:55:38Okay, we're taking good care of you.
00:55:40My son.
00:55:43I'm truly sorry.

01:02:59Facial recognition successful.
01:03:05Welcome, Mabel.
01:03:07Where is Jonathan?
01:03:21He has moved away.
01:03:23He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:03:28He moved?
01:03:30Where?
01:03:31I'm afraid I don't know.
01:03:33He really left everything behind.
01:03:39He said it would be for the best.
01:03:54He's right.
01:03:58Maybe it is for the best.
01:04:03I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:04:11Here's everything on him.
01:04:13The best we could dig up.
01:04:15Hey, you need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:04:19Setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:04:25I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:04:29Facial recognition successful.
01:04:52Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:53Nice work, Jonathan.
01:05:06Mabel.
01:05:07Hey.
01:05:10How did you...
01:05:11Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:05:15Their work was outstanding.
01:05:17I just had to know who it was.
01:05:19I'm sorry.
01:05:23I, uh, got bored.
01:05:26I wanted something to do.
01:05:27Their coding gave you away.
01:05:29It felt familiar.
01:05:31Like you.
01:05:32The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:05:39Why did you leave everything behind?
01:05:41Don't you miss it?
01:05:42Don't you miss it?
01:05:43I wanted to fix my mistakes.
01:05:49To help you.
01:05:52I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:05:56You left without saying goodbye.
01:05:57I know.
01:05:58I'm sorry.
01:06:01I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left.
01:06:02That I needed to distance myself from you.
01:06:05It was the only way I knew how to forget you.
01:06:09Have you succeeded?
01:06:12No.
01:06:13I'm good.
01:06:19Julie.
01:06:23At Novatec, we offer competitive pay.
01:06:25And flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:06:33Sounds good.
01:06:35There's more.
01:06:36We have benefits, like honeymoon leave and childcare support.
01:06:43And fun company events.
01:06:46So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:06:52As an executive?
01:06:54No, as staff.
01:06:56But I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:07:01Pretty good offer.
01:07:04Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:07:12So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:07:19That's good to know.
01:07:24You're welcome.
